Luo Mu casually scooped a ladle of water from a nearby water Cylinder, tidied himself up, and after confirming the rice cooker was steaming rice, immediately planned to go out and see if Serperior and the others had brought Eldegoss and Gossifleur back.
As soon as he left the kitchen, Luo Mu bumped into Pai Pa, who looked like his soul was about to float away, drifting towards the kitchen with a blissful expression.
Pai Pa's nose twitched slightly, inhaling the faint sweet aroma in the air, and he murmured, "What is that? It smells so good and sweet..."
"Today's lunch is vegetarian snag berries curry rice," Luo Mu said, stopping Pai Pa's attempt to float into the kitchen, and added helplessly, "We'll eat when Serperior and Eldegoss are all back. Come on, let's go to the Farming Area first to see if they've returned."
"Oh~"
Pai Pa could only reluctantly force himself to look away, following Luo Mu out of the small Western-style house and arriving in front of the five small, newly sown plots of land in the Farming Area.
All five Pokémon were already gathered in the open space.
Eldegoss noticed the arrival of Luo Mu and Pai Pa, its eyes darting around. With a light leap into the air, its body began to spin rapidly, and the cotton fluff on its head scattered into the already sown and watered fields.
Immediately after, a miraculous scene unfolded.
As the cotton fluff seemed to melt into the soil, the soil began to subtly undulate. In just a few breaths, green shoots broke through the earth, standing gracefully.
The miraculous sight made Luo Mu and Pai Pa stare in astonishment, frozen in place.
At this moment, Luo Mu understood even more deeply how magical the power of Pokémon was. Such a method, if in ancient times, would probably be called a deity that brings abundance.
Perhaps Eldegoss can only make seeds sprout now, but once its strength increases, it will eventually be able to quickly complete the process of germination, flowering, and fruiting within a few days.
If Serperior learned a more gentle Birth move like Grassy Terrain, it might even be possible for flowers to bloom and wither overnight.
Unfortunately, Serperior only knows how to instantly Birth plants as thick as tree trunks to attack with Crazy Plant.
Eldegoss landed on the ground, somewhat out of breath after sharing nutrients once. Just sharing nutrients and energy for a small plot of land exhausted it like this. It seems that relying solely on Pokémon to Birth crops is not a sustainable approach.
After all, how is doing so any different from the sweatshops before the transmigration?
Luo Mu secretly made up his mind.
Lunchtime.
The dining table left by the old couple was already crowded enough for Luo Mu and his six main Pokémon, not to mention the three new additions and the unknown Pokémon that would hatch from the future Pokémon egg.
Bringing the steaming curry to the table, and then scooping a spoonful of fragrant curry onto the rice-filled plates in front of the six eagerly awaiting Pokémon and Pai Pa, the simple and unpretentious vegetarian snag berries curry rice was thus assembled.
"Let's eat!"
After receiving Luo Mu's helpless nod of approval, the starving Pai Pa immediately took his spoon in his right hand and held up the curry rice in his left, devouring it in a messy, unrefined manner.
Serperior was much more refined than Pai Pa, skillfully controlling its Vine Whip to pick up the spoon and feed itself small bites.
Even after a year, Swampert and Dragonite were still clumsy with spoons, ultimately choosing to hold up their curry rice like Pai Pa and eat with rough movements.
Initially, Eldegoss and Gossifleur were a bit reserved, but after a while, as if infected by the atmosphere, they all lowered their heads and began to eat in small bites.
Luo Mu occasionally scooped a few bites for himself, then refilled the plates of Dragonite and Swampert, who had devoured their entire servings like a whirlwind, with more rice and curry.
This lunch lasted until one in the afternoon. The recovered Eldegoss ran off to share the newly replenished nutrients and energy with the experimental tomato patch, then weakly floated down amidst Gossifleur's worried cries.
Regarding this, Luo Mu uncharacteristically showed a serious expression, repeatedly making an agreement with Eldegoss that it could only Birth once a day and must not exhaust the nutrients needed for its own growth.
Otherwise, if this continued, Eldegoss would eventually harm its own foundation.
After ordering Eldegoss to rest and having Gossifleur supervise it, Luo Mu called over Swampert, Serperior, and Dragonite. With Pai Pa watching, they used their moves to process the wood Dragonite had collected all morning.
Using Razor Leaf to peel off the bark, Air Cutter to cut, and Water Gun to polish, they quickly obtained the wooden planks of the size Luo Mu needed.
Although he was still a novice at farming, Luo Mu had some confidence in his craftsmanship.
According to the previously drawn blueprints, he assembled wooden boards of different specifications, fixing them with iron nails, ultimately forming a miniature, natural small wooden house.
Finally, a layer of plush carpet was laid inside the small wooden house, and thus, a small home for Eldegoss and Gossifleur was completed.
Luo Mu had Swampert move this small home to the spacious living room on the first floor of the small Western-style house and invited Eldegoss and the others to try it out, receiving very high praise from them.
Especially the two Gossifleur, who had always wandered outside. Although they had lived carefree lives for most of their memory due to Eldegoss's protection, when they truly felt they had a "home" and a place to belong, they still couldn't help but throw themselves into Luo Mu's arms and cry loudly.
From then on, the two Gossifleur were no longer afraid of Luo Mu and Serperior, and within a short day, they completely integrated into the farm.
Three days later.
Three days passed since the crops in the Farming Area successfully sprouted under Eldegoss's power and Gossifleur completely integrated into the farm.
Yesterday, Dr. Ao Lin and Dr. Fu Tu, who had been out of contact, finally called Luo Mu. After a conversation, Dr. Ao Lin personally came to pick up a reluctant Pai Pa, and expressed that she would visit with gifts another day to thank Luo Mu for taking care of Pai Pa these past few days.
Subsequently, Luo Mu's life returned to a calm and uneventful state.
Aside from the routine care of the Farming Area each day, he also researched how to plan the ranch area and the lake area.
At three in the afternoon, Luo Mu took out a lounge chair he had just acquired from the market to enjoy a sunbath. Eldegoss and the others also quietly stayed to the side, inserting their bodies into the soil and facing the sun to perform Synthesis.
Serperior lazily swayed the tip of its tail, sensing the energy from the sun. As for Swampert and Dragonite, they had wandered off somewhere.
Just as this peaceful moment unfolded, the temperature in the air suddenly rose. Serperior's originally lazy snake eyes instantly narrowed, and it stood upright, looking into the distance with a wary gaze.
"Hm? Serperior, what's wrong?"
Luo Mu yawned, looking sleepily in the direction of Serperior's gaze, and his drowsiness was instantly scared away.
"Holy crap!?"
The national essence slipped out, Luo Mu's eyes wide with disbelief as he looked into the distance.
He saw Luxray, enveloped in lightning, rapidly rushing towards them, with Ceruledge following closely behind it. Upon closer inspection, one could even see a corner of Mimikyu's doll in Luxray's shadow.
But none of that mattered.
What astonished Luo Mu was the large bird Luxray held in its mouth, its feathers scorched black, and orange-red flames burning on its head, wings, and tail feathers!
